Please notice who the head of the security team was. Was he a Yemeni? If so, why are we “protecting” our diplomats with potential enemies? (as in Afghanistan) I am sorry this man has lost his life, but I see this as a much larger issue with this administration and its attempt to somehow cover up the fact that we actually have enenies! If we cannot use our own people for security in these countries, then do not open embassies. Obama is creating more and more al Qaeda with his drone attacks and ignoring the ramifications.
The attackers on a motorcycle opened fire on a car carrying Qassem Aqlan – who headed an embassy security team – in the center of Yemen’s capital, the source told Reuters.
“This (assassination) operation has the fingerprints of al Qaeda which carried out similar operations before,” said the source who asked not to be named.

Marines arrive in Yemen after embassy attack, protests spread

Published September 14, 2012FoxNews.com

U.S. Marines are on the ground in Yemen to deal with the aftermath of an attack on the U.S. Embassy in the capital city of Sanaa, as the Obama administration warns of sustained protests outside diplomatic posts across the Middle East and North Africa.

Dan Murphy of the Christian Science Monitor blogs that “interesting and convincing” points have been made on the suggestion that “there may be no anti-Islamic movie at all”. Some have pointed to the fact that the most contentious scenes of dialogue in the film seem to have been dubbed in after shooting, he writes.

(Reuters) – Demonstrators attacked the U.S. embassies in Yemen and Egypt on Thursday in protest at a film they consider blasphemous to Islam and American warships headed to Libya after the death of the U.S. ambassador there in related violence earlier in the week.
